If I Wanted To Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]If I wanted to forget you,
it'd have been easy
If I wanted to [Dm]lose you,
[C]it'd have been quick
Hell, I lost myself for [Dm]four years
[C]and I might have slept away
But I fell [F]sick
And it ain't just [C]you then
who was in [Bb]danger
[C]It [Am]was everyone and
everything I ever loved
Slipping out [F]of nowhere
into unmarked graves
If I [C]wanted [G]to, if I [Em]wanted [F]to,
if I [C]wanted to
I'd [G]tell myself I [Am]could have, is it true
Who did I want [Dm]to?[C][F][C]
Well, it started as a vow
in some old treehouse
You swore you'd never
be your father's
when you aged
Now you're sit[Am]ting at this bar
You're wondering who you are
And you're be[F]coming those at
whom you once were so enraged
And a [C]prison bar
don't have to be too strong, you know
It's how many there are side by side
that [Bb]keep you [C]in the cell
[Bb]An d[C] the c[Am]amera dollies out
from where you're lying in your bunk
But the camera's [F]in the prison yard as well
If you [C]wanted [G]to, if you [Em]wanted to,
[F]if you wan[C]ted to
You'd [G]tell yourselves you [Am]could have,
it true, that you wanted [Dm]to?[C][F][C]
[Dm][C][F][C][Dm][C][F]
[C][Dm]
Cut, [Gsus4]cut, cut, cut,[F] cut,
[Bb]cut, [G]cut[C][G]
[Gsus4]Well they[G] can tell[C] you
that you won't amount to nothin' boy
Well that's what we expect
from nasty girls like you
They act like [Am]everything is figured out
But what'll they do
when that [F]tragedy comes
fallin' on them too?
And if they [C]want it [G]to, if they [Em]want it to,
[F]if they [C]want it to
[G]They tell themselves they [Am]could answer true,
they want [Dm]to[C][F]
Oh, if you [C]wanted [G]to, if you [Em]wanted to
[F]If you [C]wanted to, you'd [G]tell yourself
You [Am]could have the truth
that you want [Dm]to[C]
[F]And if I wan[C]ted to,[G] if I w[Em]anted to
[F]If [C]I wanted to
I'd [G]tell myself I [Am]could have the truth
Did I want [Dm]to?[C][F]
Did I tell myself?
Did [Dm]want to?[C]
[F]Did you tell yourself?
Did want [Dm]to?[C]
[F]Did they tell [C]themselves?
If I wanted to forget you
it would have been [C]easy
